Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CCN4 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 3 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated CCN4 data layer compared with 27 for mass-spec protein and 2 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where higher CCN4 mass-spec protein is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated CCN4 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as GBM and LUAD show a favorable association.
PDAC, GBM, and LUAD are the cancer types where CCN4 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
